South Korean police have suppressed the full list. Jang left a 7-page note listing at least 31 names of media executives, CEOs, and directors that she claimed she was forced into having sex with. Kim Sung-hoon, who was in Japan, denied the accusations. According to Jang's suicide note, this abuse contributed to her depression and suicide.Īccording to South Korean reports, Jang claimed that her agent Kim Sung-hoon had regularly beaten her and forced her to have sex with a string of VIPs, including directors, media executives and CEOs. After three witness testified against the abusive CEO, Kim Sung Hoon was found guilty of abuse by the Korean courts, specifically of forcing girls from his agency to come to parties where he was prostituting them to entertainment executives and also physically and verbally abusing them. Her death caused a national scandal in 2009 when it was proved that she had been sexually and physically abused by a number of prominent entertainment executives during her career, most importantly the CEO of Jang's former talent agency, The Contents Entertainment, Kim Sung-hoon. The 2009 faux-investigation concluded that her death was a suicide at first, and was reopened in 2018. She had been suffering from depression, and it was revealed in 2019 that the initial investigation into her death in 2009 was corrupted and false. At the time of her death at the age of 29, Jang had been starring in Boys Over Flowers.
